Learning styles and ICT

I have also completed the VARK learning styles questionnaire. It did not surprise me to find my results fell in the multi-modal range. I like the re-enforcement from different approaches that visual, aural, read / write and kinaesthetic methods offer. That being said it was interesting to compare my learning style with those of my colleagues who have also done the test. The lesson learnt is that students too have many different learning styles and therefore lesson plans should accommodate multiple methods to enhance active student participation.

  1. I'm starting to feel paranoid now with all these multi-modal gurus coming to the fore.

    For someone strongly visual and aural I am limited in what I get out of paper and text. Perhaps blogs are different, I'm not sure. It works best for me if in my head I conjure up your voice reading your post and me reading my comment.

  2. By the way, what a completely outrageous theme (wallpaper) you have chosen. In the words of Austin Powers - "Groovy baby...yeah!"
